Despairing of escape from the hated
ailance in any other way, she had ap-
pealed to her old nurse for aid. This
woman, then nearly eighty years old.
was living with her son IN cottage on
nelghborlng estate, having quarrelled
Win Lord Larrimoor some years before.
she and her husband, now dead, had
been servants to Lucia's grandfather.
The Old woman readily espoused Lucias
cause, and, the day before the wedding,
she entered the hall unnoiced and
found her way to Lucias room. She
disguised Lucia as beggar, and in the
hustle OF preparation they managed to
escape.
The cave had been discovered and &C
cupled by some English fugitives during
the troublous times of Cromwell. 1t
vas atterward occupied and enlarged
by wizard hermit But he had been
dead Tor half century, and the cave
deserted. Its entrance had been over
grown by vines, and those who had
known Of its existence, except the old
nurse, were dead or gone away. Even
he had not thought of it for years,
until her anxiety Quickened her falling
memory. Hlther she had conveyed her
charge, and hither they had lived in
seciusion Tor i've years. A lonely life
indeed for a bt autiful Young woman.
but she chose it rather than sell herself
for gold. She besought US not to reveal
her hiding place. We treasured her of
our i.Ld hip, and ask d permission to
visit EcT again. This was readily granted
ana We were invited to. return again
next evening and bring Nora with us.
Great VAS Morals surprise when We
related lar ventures to ner. At first
she could hardly believe us; but, seeing
we were really in earnest, she gladly
accepted the joyful news, and expressed
herself anxious to visit her old friend in
her strange abode. After that we
frequently visited the cave, but always
with great secrecy. Indeed, it was
seldom that the gathering shadows of
evening did not find Lord Glendale
thither, and his radiant countenance
gave US assurance that his visits were
not in vain. AS for Nora and |. we
loved better to walk in the fragrant
garden. or wander among the grand old
trees that surrounded the hall.
| lad already extended my vacation
to unprecedented length, and was be
ginning to think seriously of returning
to my work, when Glendale one even
ing informed me that on. the morrow
he would wed the fair Lucia. 1t was a
qniet wedding in the rocky cave which
had sheltered the bride for so many
years. An old priest performed the
ceremony, of which Nora, the nurse,
and l wer the only witnesses.
few days later ! took my departure
with light heart, for Nora was nv
promised wife. The Lord and LADY OF
Glendale passed their honeymoon
quietly at Glendale Hall. The hard old
Lord had long looked upon his daughter
as dead, and was so overcome to receive
her again that he forgave her entirely,
and became from that time forth a
changed man.
All this happened years ago. Nora
and L are married now, and our home
is in London; but every summer we
spend our vacation with the Lord and
Lady of Glendale, at their beautiful
country seat.-Mary Keim, in The Cur

SAM cox ON THE STUMP.
How He Lost at SEVENTH but Won the
Game at the Polls.

Game at tho Polls.
While riding about Springfield in COM
pany with Mr. Hill, who was Mayor Of
that city twenty-five years ago, and Mr.
George Spence, the former told Il charac-
terislic story OF Sam Cox connected with
the celebrated campaign in which the ex-
Minister 10 Turkey beat sam Shelabarger
in district which the Republican Legs
lature made for the express purpose Of
keeping Sunset out of Congress.
Hill was showing Cox over the county,
and the latter was TO speak some place out
IN German township, On the way out
they passed very prominent and iniluen-
tial German Republican who was blowing
alongside the road. They waited for him
TO come around the land, and Hill said
10 Cox:
Il will introduce you to him."
Don't do it" said Cox. I've will have
Il chat with him, but don't introduce Inc. "
Presently the farmer came round and
halted his team rather reluctantly.
Il haven't time to talk with you, said
he, TINS blowing must be done"
That's all right, said Hill, jumping out
of the buggy. My friend here would
like to talk with you, and as l was raised
on farm | will pillow while you talk.
With that Hill 'geed-up' the team and
left Cox and the farmer talking.
When | got around the twenty acre
field, said Hill, Il found Sam and the
farmer down in fence corner playing
scycn-up, with hali-cmptied bottle OF
whisky between them.
Hill plowcd several rounds and the game
kept up. The German won every time
and was in high glec and pronounced sam
one of the best fellows in the world, only
he didn't know how 10 play seven-up.
Finally Cox inquired
Are you going over TO the meeting TO-
night to hear this man Cox make q
speech?'
No; ! won't SO near him.
Why
because hes buttcrnut secesh and a
rascal and | don't want TO hear him. I'd
sooner play seven-up and drink with q
gentleman like you than listen to any ras
cally butternut make a speech.
lou arc a man after my own heart,
exclaimed sam, grasping his hand. That
suits me, but come over anyhow and We
viii nave some fun with the rascals, and
then we will play few more games OF
seycn-up for the drinks.
The proposition suited the farmer and
he agreed TO 20.
He was on hand early, seeking eagerly
in the outskirts OF the crowd for his friend
Of the fence corner, but didn't see him
until he came Onto the stand and was in
troduced rs the Hon ). ) Cox.
The old fellow was really paralyzed, but
listened to the speech throughout, and then
made his way on to the stand.
Il want TO apologize TO you.
What for: inquired sam.
"For abusing you, and want to say
Don't mention it.
well want to say, Nh Cox, that
am going to vote for you and my three
boys will DO the same
shall we go and have another game OF
seven-up?"
No, but YOU come to my house some
time and stay week aud III play with
you every day.
That old German neglected his blowing,
or turned it over To his boys, aud went
over Clark county whooping it up foi
sam, and was instrumental in securing
over 100 of the 800 majority by which
he was elected in district that was Re
publican by 1900.
